Notes :
1. The above audited financial results were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on July 19, 2007.
2. The total revenues represent the aggregate revenue and includes all allocable other income and exchange differences which are reported in other income/general and administrative expenses in the financial statements.
3. The Company has designated forward contracts and options to hedge highly probable forecasted transactions based on the principles set out in International Accounting Standard (IAS 39) on Financial Instruments. Until March 31, 2007, the exchange differences on the forward contracts and gain / loss on such options were recognized in the profit and loss account in the period in which the forecasted transaction is expected to occur. As of June 30, 2006 and March 31, 2007 the Company had forward /option contracts to sell USD 335.40 million and USD 87 million respectively, relating to highly probable forecasted transactions. The effect of mark to market of the designated contracts as of June 30, 2006 was a loss of Rs 272 million and as of March 31, 2007 was a gain of Rs 105 million. The premium / discount at inception of forward contracts was amortised over the life of the contract.
Effective April 1, 2007, based on the recognition and measurement principles set out in the Exposure Draft of the proposed Accounting Standard (AS-30) on Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, the changes in the derivative fair values relating to forward contracts and options that are designated as effective cash flow hedges of Rs 350 million, has been recognized directly in shareholders’ funds until the hedged transactions occur. Upon occurrence of the hedged transaction, the amounts recognized in the shareholders’ funds would be reclassified into the profit and loss account.
As a result of this change in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the shareholders’ funds and loans and advances have increased by Rs. 350 million. There was no impact on the profit and loss account.
4. The Company has been granting restricted stock units (RSUs) since October 2004. The RSUs generally vest in a graded manner over a five year period. The stock compensation cost is computed under the intrinsic value method and amortized on a straight line basis over the total vesting period of five years.
For the quarter ended June 30, 2007, the Company has recorded stock compensation expense of Rs. 271 Million. The Company has been advised by external counsel that the straight line amortization over the total vesting period also complies with the SEBI Employee Stock Option Scheme Guidelines 1999, as amended. However, an alternative interpretation of the SEBI guidelines could result in amortization of the cost on an accelerated basis. If the Company were to amortize cost on an accelerated basis, profit before taxes for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 would have been lower by Rs. 26 million and Rs. 61 million respectively. This would effectively increase the profit before tax in later years by similar amounts.
5. The Company had received tax demands from the Indian income tax authorities for the financial years ended March 31, 2001, 2002 and 2003 aggregating to Rs. 8,100 Million (including interest of Rs. 750 Million). The tax demand was primarily on account of denial of deduction claimed by the Company under Section 10A of the Income Tax Act 1961, in respect of profits earned by its undertakings in Software Technology Park at Bangalore. The Company had appealed against these demands. In March 2006, the first appellate authority vacated the tax demands for the years ended March 31, 2001 and 2002. The income tax authorities have filed an appeal against the above order.
In March 2007, the first Income tax appellate authority upheld the deductions claimed by the Company under Section 10A of the Act, which vacates a substantial portion of the demand for the year ended March 31, 2003.
In December 2006, the Company received additional tax demand of Rs. 3,027 Million (including interest of Rs. 753 Million) for the financial year ended March 31, 2004 on similar grounds as earlier years. The Company has filed an appeal against this demand. Considering the facts and nature of disallowance and the order of the appellate authority upholding the claims of the Company for earlier years, the Company believes that the final outcome of the above disputes should be in favour of the Company and there should not be any material impact on the financial statements.
6. The Board of Directors of the Company has approved on June 6, 2007 the schemes of amalgamation of the following wholly owned subsidiaries with the Company. The amalgamation is subject to the approval of the
members, creditors of each of these companies and Wipro Limited and subject to the applicable regulatory approvals.
(i) Wipro Infrastructure Engineering Limited, (ii) Wipro Healthcare IT Limited (iii) Quantech Global Services Limited (iv) Mpact Technology Services Private Limited (v) mPower Software Services (India) Private Limited; and (vi) cMango India Private Limited.
7. The Guidance on implementing AS 15, Employee Benefits issued by the Accounting Standards Board (ASB) provides that exempt provident fund trusts which require employers to meet the interest shortfall are in effect defined benefit plans. The Company’s actuary has informed that it is not practicable to actuarially determine the interest shortfall obligation.
8. The Finance Act, 2007 has introduced Fringe Benefit Tax (FBT) on employee stock options. The difference between the fair value of the underlying share on the date of vesting and the exercise price paid by the employee is subject to FBT. The Company will recover such tax from the employee. The Company’s obligation to pay FBT arises only upon the exercise of stock options and hence the FBT liability and the related recovery will be recorded at the time of the exercise.
9. In July 2007, the Company entered into a definitive agreement to acquire 100% shareholding in Singapore based Unza Holdings Limited (‘Unza’) for USD 246 million. Unza is South East Asia’s largest independent manufacturer and marketer of personal care products. The acquisition provides an opportunity to the Company to expand its presence in South East Asian markets.
